Pampered by My Ex-husband (Penny and Orlando)

Chapter 31 Penny Is Awkward

Lydia hadn't expected to hear that.

She was a bit surprised that Penny even knew that Orlando was married.

After all, few people in the upper class knew this, and those who did even disdained Orlando's nominal

wife.

They all thought that as just a common family, the Stuart family was not qualified for this business

marriage with the Fletcher family.

"Do you mean the woman who hasn't even shown her face?"

Lydia scoffed, "You probably don't know that she hasn't even attended the New Year's meal of the

Fletcher family these years, and no one in the Fletcher family has admitted her identity. Therefore,

she's Mrs. Fletcher only in name."

In fact, even many people had doubted whether Penny was too ugly to show her face.

Lydia's words were true. Penny was indeed transparent in the Fletcher family, and Rex was the only

one who cared for her.

Hearing that, Penny was not angry but just said, "No matter whether Mrs. Fletcher has attended the

New Year's meal or not, her marriage to Orlando is a fact. As long as the marriage certificate is there,

other women who try to attract Orlando's attention should be morally condemned, shouldn't they?"

Lydia realized that she was no match for Penny in the argument.

She knew that if they continued this topic, Angie would become a homewrecker who coveted someone

else's husband.

Lydia blushed with anger and sneered, "Aren't you the same? You're indeed beautiful, but don't think

that Orlando will be interested in you just because of that. He has loved my cousin for ten years."

"I don't think Mr. Fletcher is such an affectionate man." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

As soon as Penny had finished speaking, a man's indifferent and cold voice came from the door.

"Then what kind of man should he be?"

Penny was a bit awkward, and she thought in confusion, "Didn't he go to the meeting?"

Orlando stood there calmly. As Lydia had not closed the door when she entered, he had heard the

whole conversation between the two.

When Penny realized it, her expression was a little unnatural.

Lydia's face, however, lit up with joy, and she went over to Orlando with a snort.

"Orlando, aren't you going to have a meeting?"

Orlando gave her a faint glance, and his voice was as cold as snow.

He said casually, "Ms. Perry is right. After all, I am married. And, we're boss and employee, so you'd

better call me Mr. Fletcher in the future to avoid any misunderstanding."

Lydia hung her head reluctantly and muttered, "I see."

After a deep glance at Penny, Orlando took the watch on a shelf beside him, put it on, and turned to

leave.

Penny stood in place and thought in regret, "Why did I argue with someone like Lydia? Looks like I

have offended my client."

With a sigh, she picked up the bag that had been left in place and went to the innermost side to change

her clothes. After that, she took the key and went straight to Royal Green.

After wandering around Royal Green and examining the general surroundings, she drove away.

She had made a mental note of the layout of Royal Green and other gardening designs around it, but

she had not even inquired about the owner's hobbies.

Orlando was indeed unpredictable, and she really knew nothing of his hobbies.

As she passed by a mall, Penny remembered that today was Lana's birthday. Therefore, she parked

her car and planned to buy a gift for her.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the diamond necklace area, she saw Colin.

There was a beautiful woman beside Colin. The two seemed to have quarreled, and the woman

slapped Colin hard in the face.

Penny stopped walking, regretting that she had stepped into the mall.

She thought, "No wonder there aren't many people around. It seems that this place has been cleared

by someone, and I happened to bump into their quarrel. What an embarrassing thing!"

"You scum!"

The woman cursed and ran away crying, carrying her bag.

Penny felt very awkward. When she was about to pretend not to have seen anything and sneak out,

she was stopped by Colin, "Penny, I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you here for shopping?"

Penny could only stop and brace herself to greet Colin, "Mr. Levine."

There was a slap on Colin's young and handsome face, but he didn't mind it. With a careless look, he

said, "I heard you made a deal with Orlando. Congratulations."

"It's all thanks to you, Mr. Levine. Thank you for your recommendation."

Colin rubbed his head. "It's not a big deal."

"Well, it may not be a big deal to you, Mr. Levine, but it's a timely help for me. I should treat you to

dinner."

"I don't need that. If you really want to help me, there's a chance now."

"What?"

Penny looked a bit surprised. Then she saw Colin sigh with a troubled expression.

"As you have just seen, I was dumped by my girlfriend. Now I want to hire you as my girlfriend to meet

someone. Anyway, you don't know her, so just pretend to be my girlfriend. It won't take long, at most

half an hour."

Hearing that, Penny didn't know how to refuse.

"After all, the deal with Orlando is indeed thanks to him, so just consider it as a way of repaying his

favor," she thought.

With that in mind, Penny nodded. "Okay."

Seeing her consent, Colin casually grabbed the necklace beside him and handed it to her. "This is your

reward."

Penny wanted to refuse, but Colin waved his hand. "As long as you help me solve this problem, I will

introduce more clients to your studio in the future."

Penny found it even more difficult to refuse.

However, when they arrived at a restaurant, she finally realized that it was his mother whom Colin had

asked her to meet.

Colin's mother was called Nancy Fletcher, and she was Orlando's aunt.
